I've only ever been on board A320s, 737s, Dash 8s and a museum Concorde so it's extremely hard for me to grasp how absolutely huge those engines actually are
Believe it or not, most of the resistance comes from the compressed air in the HP stages of the compressor. But once it's connected power wheels get going, it's a totally negligible force.
This is a sound I won’t forget as a passenger- on the older British Airways 200ERs I remember, you can literally hear the plastic paneling of the cabin rattling as the engine howls on startup
That is the Auxillary Power Unit, or A.P.U. for short, running in the rear of the aircraft. It's basically a gas turbine engine that produces electricity and hydraulic power, and also can supply pressurized air to start the engines. Pilots typically leave it on so they can start their engines without needing a Ground Power Unit (or G.P.U. for short).
@@davecrupel2817 oh i understand now.....that was also something that I wanted to know actually....i thought it was like a mini turbo engine like that on a military aircraft

You're a little light, Stephen. More than 100 F1's combined. The GE90's strength is commonly measured in pounds of thrust but it equates to over 100,000 horsepower. GE90-115 fun facts: 9'7" in diameter, weighs 18,000 pounds (although the carbon fiber fan blades only weigh about 1200 pounds combined), cost $40 million apiece and on a test stand, it's been pushed to over 125,000 pounds of thrust, making it the most powerful jet engine in existence. Two of these big boys can shove a 700,000 pound aircraft through the air at 550mph for 10,000 miles.
I'm so impressed that the fan blade tips don't touch the cowling, considering it's only 1 or 2 mm space between them.
